Chapter 4 Address

Address

The SMC BR21VPN allows the Administrator to set Interface addresses of the

LAN network, LAN network group, WAN network, WAN network group, DMZ and

DMZ group.

An IP address in the Address Table can be an address of a computer or a sub

network. The Administrator can assign an easily recognized name to an IP

address. Based on the network it belongs to, an IP address can be an LAN IP

address, WAN IP address or DMZ IP address. If the Administrator needs to

create a control policy for packets of different IP addresses, he can first add a

new group in the LAN Group or the WAN Group and assign those IP addresses

into the newly created group. Using group addresses can greatly simplify the

process of building control policies.

With easily recognized names of IP addresses and names of address groups

shown in the address table, the Administrator can use these names as the source

address or destination address of control policies. The address table should be setup

before creating control policies, so that the Administrator can pick the names of correct

IP addresses from the address table when setting up control policies.
